What do you mean?

Mani ,if your question is related to beating children in schools then i would surely say- it is a cruelty towards children.

It's resounding No from me! Beat the beaters!!!

Punishment cannot be eliminated from anywhere. This differs from cruelty. Cruelty and leniency both are harmful. Reward and punishment both are necessary everywhere.
Beating school students arbitrarily and angrily is of no use. There should be code of conduct. The punishment should be only for breach of discipline and decorum and not for poor study. caning is the most appropriate punishment. For offences like, late coming, avoiding class, shouting and nuisance, punishment by caning on clothed backside is most appropriate. The quantum of punishment must be uniform and prescribed.

Discipling kids and subjecting them to corporal punishment are two matters altogether.From my limited experience I can say that a good teacher never needs a cane!

Children have a great respect for teachers who show love towards them rather than teachers who beat them.Love is an universal language. :)

I agree. A good teacher will not need to use the cane. In fact, presently caning is not permissible. But punishment cannot be totally avoided. Corporal punishment is also a way to discipline. This is necessary for habitual offenders.

As corporal punishment is no longer a legitimate way of discipline any teacher opting for it would do so at his or her own risks.My objection to corporal punishment is total and I have no faith in it whatsoever !

its very bad on teachers part to beat kids as parents send childrens to school thinking they are in good hands but when these hands only hurt them then what should be done....

Do the parents never beat the kids? The teachers in school are in same position as parents. If corporal punishment is totally stopped, the schools have only option to report the indiscipline to parents who will then be responsible for their child's act. If the indiscipline is intolerable, the children have to be rusticated.

There is another angle. You cannot eliminate corporal punishment from society. when children grow up without any such punishment and are spoiled, they suddenly find themselves amenable to discipline by police and courts. Is it not best to check them from the very childhood?

I am very firmly convinced against it! Its apparent demerits far outweigh its merits that is reason the civilized world is learning to do away with corporal punishment!

Some teachers throw off the duster on the students when they fail to listen the class.It is a horrible thing to think about. :(

That's thoroughly unacceptable conduct of a teacher!The height of irresponsibility!

The teachers throw dusters or strike at vulnerable part of body out of sheer anger. This is certainly very bad. There must be no punishment out of anger. caning for discipline is much different from angry action of teachers. Mindless and angry attack may lead to permanent injury and even death. This is condemnable.

In my opinion, there should be strict rules but they should be in place to make the children aware of what they should do and how they should conduct themselves, but not to suffocate them or to disallow them to express themselves.

As to the beatings concerned, even parents find it necessary to spank children occasionlly. A teacher should resort to only when necessary and not in the matter that will hurt or humiliate a child seriously! Nowadays its more like trying to hurt a child physically or scar the child mentally for a long time which is utterly despicable and condemnable.

Kalyani- My views reconcile with yours. The object of sending children to school is to groom them as good future citizens. Discipline is necessary. But there must not be mindless cruelty towards children.

Yes, Gulshan, perfectly true! Rules should be made to guide and shape their personality and not to initimidate or demoralize them!!

Some teachers suffer from a kind of delusion that by sriking fear in the minds of the taught they would be able to enforce discipline!

Disciple is indeed need but some harsh anger decisions can not give disciple....
